Like a Soldier (Part 2)

[Chorus: Muslim Belal] x2
Like a Soldier, Imma stand up and pray to my Lord
Like a Soldier, Imma fast my 30 days for my Lord
Like a Soldier, Calculate zakat and pay to my Lord
Like a Soldier, Hajj and 'Umrah gets made for my Lord
Like a Soldier, I don't need to buss my gun to be a soldier
So they can say what they want, I'm a soldier
And I don't need to drop no bombs to be a soldier
So they can say what they want, I remain a soldier

[Verse: Muslim Belal]
Like a Soldier
I'm just tryna do the best I can for Allah
I'm just tryna keep it real, I'm not tryna be a star
They like to talk about my life, they don't know how it is
I'm a true soldier, they can't change the way I live
Muslim, call me fake, call me what you want
I'm just here to deliver my message, then the boy is gone
I spit knowledge in them songs, but I change lives?
Poet and I'm studying Islam at the same time
It's a hard test, so Allah, I'm tryna do my best
Keep a safe guard over me, and all the rest
I never said I was the best student, I was never in the top class
But if they understood a minute of my past, they would appreciate where I am today
So why ignore, the words that they say
I get my mat and just pray too
Allah didn't say you was my judge, so don’t worry about me, I’m alright bruv
More to my life than poetry, this is light stuff
You don’t see what I’m up to, until the night’s up
And when the night’s up, I shall stand alone
Another black boy shaded by Allah’s throne

[Chorus: Muslim Belal] x2
Like a Soldier, Imma stand up and pray to my Lord
Like a Soldier, Imma fast my 30 days for my Lord
Like a Soldier, Calculate zakat and pay for my Lord
Like a Soldier, Hajj and 'Umrah gets made for my Lord
Like a Soldier, I don't need to buss my gun to be a soldier
So they can say what they want, I'm a soldier
And I don't need to drop no bombs to be a soldier
So they can say what they want, I remain a soldier
